Post-Doctoral - Chemical & Biological Engineering (Machine Vision) - Saskatoon, Canada - University of Saskatchewan
Description
Post-Doctoral - Chemical & Biological Engineering (Machine Vision)
Dr. Oon-Doo Baik and collaborators are currently seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join an exciting research project. The focus of this project is to develop a machine vision system to assess sprout damage of wheat. The project requires fabrication of the dual camera machine vision system based on artificial neural network/deep learning and quantification of alpha-amylase activity in sprout affected wheat.
The project is funded through the from ADF Program. This is therefore a 3-year position, provided satisfactory performance during the probation period.
Nature of Work:
The primary responsibilities of the Postdoctoral Fellow will be to conduct research associated with the ADF program. This project involves investigating the development of an efficient classifier to correlate alpha-amylase activity with imaging attributes detected by a dual camera machine vision system. The post-doc will build the machine vision system for this project. Other duties include, but are not limited to, and presenting data, and writing scientific manuscripts. Collaboration with colleagues, keeping laboratory spaces clean and organized, assistance with laboratory procedures, data analysis, assistance with meeting organization and presentations to research project meetings.
Typical Duties or Accountabilities:
Qualifications
Education:
A PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, or a related discipline, preferably with experience in machine vision fabrication, image processing, and AI algorithms or neural networks. Candidates in the final stages of their PhD studies will also be considered, as long as there is a clear timeline for completion (within two months for defense).
Experience:
The successful candidate should have experience in:
